Fraction Comparison: Identifying Parts Greater Than 2/5

Question

Choose the way in which the painted part is greater than 25 \frac{2}{5}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine which option displays parts painted more than 25\frac{2}{5}.

  • Step 1: Each option shows an arrangement divided into 5 boxes. We seek parts painted red exceeding 25\frac{2}{5}.

  • Step 2: Analyze each visual:
    -- Option 1, 1 block painted out of 5, fraction = 15\frac{1}{5}.
    -- Option 2, 2 out of 5 blocks painted, fraction = 25\frac{2}{5}.
    -- Option 3, 3 blocks painted out of 5, fraction = 35\frac{3}{5}.
    -- Option 4, 1 block painted out of 5, fraction = 15\frac{1}{5}.

  • Step 3: Compare 35\frac{3}{5} in Option 3 with 25\frac{2}{5}.

Therefore, the only choice where the painted part is greater than 25\frac{2}{5} is Option 3.
